reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operating activities: changes in operating assets and liabilities, net of effect of business acquisitions: $ change % change $ $ the company views adjusted ebitda, adjusted ebitda margin, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per share, all of which are defined as non-gaap measures, as important indicators of performance, consistent with the manner in which management measures and forecasts the company’s performance. adjusted ebitda is a commonly used non-gaap measure when comparing our results with those of other companies. we define adjusted ebitda as gaap net income plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and earnout adjustments. we consider adjusted ebitda to be a useful metric for management and investors to evaluate and compare the ongoing operating performance of our business on a consistent basis across reporting periods, as it eliminates the effect of non-cash items such as depreciation of tangible assets, amortization of intangible assets primarily recognized in business combinations, as well as the effect of earnout gains and losses, which we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. adjusted ebitda margin is adjusted ebitda divided by revenue. we define adjusted net income as gaap net income plus stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of financing costs, and earnout adjustments, net of related tax effects. we believe adjusted net income is an important measure of long-term value and is used by investors to measure our performance. this measure in particular assists readers in further understanding our results and trends from period-to-period by removing certain non-cash items that do not impact the cash flow performance of our business. diluted adjusted earnings per share is adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted-average shares, as reported. adjusted ebitda and adjusted net income as defined by us may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. these non-gaap measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with gaap. diluted weighted average shares, as reported
